Campus Housing

Students who meet any of the following requirements have the additional option of living in University apartments or living off campus.

20 years of age or older at the start of classes

Spouse and/or children will be living with you

Living together at a big university in a small town creates a strong community.

Students at residential colleges—like WSU—achieve higher grades and enjoy more opportunities.

The reason is simple: the close community and support of roommates, faculty, and resident advisors make the difference.

Residence Halls

WSU Pullman offers more than 20 residence halls with a variety of room options.

Make your first WSU friends in the residence halls.

Everyone has a place at WSU. Just walk in, and you will be embraced. My first couple of weeks here I got sick, but my neighbors were so welcoming and warm. One of the girls on my floor got me an orange juice just to make me feel better. That was the best, most touching moment.”Alysid Fernandes

Focused Community Halls

Do you want to live with internationally focused students? Do you want to live with science and engineering majors or with the University’s most dedicated scholars?

WSU Pullman offers many difference options to suit your living and learning style.

Global Scholars

The Global Scholars Hall, opened in 2015 and welcomes international and American students who are interested in cultural sharing and global leadership.

Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM)

The College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences encourage all students interested in these areas to sign up for Stephenson Hall, where you can take First-Year Focus courses that are closer to your area of interest and live with students who are in similar majors.

Scholars’ Halls

Many of the University’s most dedicated scholars choose to live in Honors Hall and Scott-Coman Hall, where they help each other reach new levels of inquiry and learning.

Off-Campus Housing

A wide variety of housing options are available for students. In Pullman, before signing a lease or an agreement for off-campus housing, check to see if the University’s freshman live-in requirement applies to you. This requirement does not apply to WSU Tri-Cities students. Apartments, duplexes, and private homes are available for rent or purchase.

No matter what part of town you live in, the University campus is within walking distance or only a short bus ride away.

Living in a University residence hall while studying at the IALC is counted toward the one-year freshman live-in requirement for undergraduates in Pullman.
